Sweetest woman ever. She really wants her students to do well and respects every single one. All you have to do is come to class and do your homework. Love her.BIOL1000 2025-04-27 20:52:48 +0000 UTC
I loved Dr. Ray as a professor. She always clarified any question that was asked, she gave us ample opportunity to correct our mistakes and earn a higher grade, and she offered tons of support through the course. She is both a wonderful person and professor.BIOL2299 2024-01-07 21:41:19 +0000 UTC
Dr. Ray is an exceptional professor. She is passionate about teaching and appreciates student feedback. Course is organized and thoughtful. The material is challenging, but she makes lectures clear and offers many opportunities to learn the content. I would highly recommend taking BIOL 4707 with her.4707 2023-12-19 02:33:57 +0000 UTC
(BIO 4707) Highly organized, posts slides and recordings from every lecture online, weekly announcements on canvas about what is coming up and what we should be working on. Textbook is just supplemental. Passionate about the subject matter. Works in discussion about assays applicable to bio careers. Occasional poorly phrased questions.BIOL3421 2023-04-23 19:07:25 +0000 UTC
She's a very caring teacher that makes it clear to see that she puts effort into helping each and every one of her students have access to resources and know how to manage their workload. She is a bit lecture heavy and due to her soft voice, the class is quite sleep inducing.BIOL1000 2025-01-15 18:49:31 +0000 UTC
Dr. Ray is extremely kind and caring professor. She is easy to reach outside of class and wants to see you succeed. She goes through lecture material quickly but is happy to answer questions. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about biology. Tests are not a huge part of your grade in the class.BIOL2299 2022-12-14 22:01:09 +0000 UTC
The best class I've taken so far. Her teaching style is like story-telling that is very easy to follow along. Lecture slides are very organized and she lets you know exactly what will be on the exam. She also gives you many opportunities to do well. Not only that, Dr. Ray is an extremely understanding person, if a problem occurs, just talk to her!BIOL3421 2022-12-03 05:49:38 +0000 UTC
Professor Ray cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She was also reachable when I had questions--both email and in-person. She taught the class well and made it engaging when the content was boring. Definitely recommend her.BIOL1000 2024-11-19 23:54:10 +0000 UTC
professor ray was great!! she always super sweet and willing to help outside of class if you didn't understand something. her lectures were also pretty easy to follow and connected concepts together well. planning to take another class with her in the future!BIOL2299 2022-04-13 18:31:24 +0000 UTC
Dr. Ray clearly cares about her students' well-being. She's always willing to meet outside of scheduled class/office hours if you need help. The class itself is not bad either, as long as you listen to lectures.BIOL3421 2022-11-30 18:41:01 +0000 UTC
She was so sweet!BIOL1000 2024-10-30 20:38:31 +0000 UTC
Professor Ray is great! Her lectures are very informative and easy to understand and follow. Her tests and quizzes aren't that bad if you understand the material and prepare. She is also very committed to helping her students by being very accessible and introducing them to different career options related to biology.BIOL2299 2022-04-05 20:34:47 +0000 UTC
This woman is a saint. One time I emailed her at 1am and she answered almost instantly. There is 1-2 assignments due before every class but they aren't hard, and she grades them based off of completion. Definitely take her she's my new favorite person.BIOL1000 2023-12-13 20:14:14 +0000 UTC
Dr. Ray is a very understanding, compassionate, and intelligent woman. She always wants to make sure she is helping students understand the material and gives a lot of partial credit on exams which is great!! I would definitely take class with her again :)BIOL2299 2021-12-18 20:07:33 +0000 UTC
Professor Ray is probably the nicest professor I've had. She is very accessible and responds quickly. Bio 1000 is one of the most boring courses at NU, however, this is the same across all sections.BIOL1000 2023-12-07 00:42:42 +0000 UTC
